Flight attendants operating on Austrian Airlines flights can breathe easy; for the first time in airplane design, a private space has been carved out for the airline hosts in the form of the Crew Rest Module.
The needs of wailing babies, air-sick teenagers and demanding businessmen in first class will all have to wait, because I'm certain that attendants flying with Austrian Airlines will take ample advantage of the newly installed Crew Rest Module. Built using the same schematics as typical cargo holders, the new module can be easily loaded onboard within minutes and will only be installed on flights exceeding 11 hours flight time. Each of these compartments has enough space for six crew members to bunk up and catch some sleep, lowering stress levels for pilots and overall improving the safety onboard!
